Do you have a list of numbers for all the groups?
Other than the two groups below total, what is the difference in size between the largest and the smallest group?

I thought DPhiE sold their house to the University for $600,000. They plan to use it for office space right now, but Lumpkin is where the University is expanding in the near future with plans for a new home for the library special collections, a new building for the business school and family and consumer science school, etc. I read about the DPhiE sale on another thread. I was surprised they sold to the University considering how tight the market is for Greek housing right now in Athens. But I think it was one of those situations where UGA owns the land, Nationals owns the house, etc.

I don't know at all. But I thought that the section that they were on that they probably owned it.

The fraternities are definitely in the UGA-owns-the-land boat, but in my mind's eye the sorority houses on Lumpkin are much farther away form the North Campus section the university wants to build on, and other non- UGA buildings are interspersed with them. (For example, the Catholic Center is right there, along with some apartments). It would surprise me if UGA did own the land that the D Phi E house was on.

But it would make sense if UGA bought it to basically give to one of the fraternities they are kicking out, except that D Phi E would have to know how hard that would make it to recolonize later. And if the chapter was there since the 30s, it seems strange that they'd decide that fast.

Any D Phi Es from UGA know?

I'm sure that they (UGA Deephers) do know, but they probably have a lot of things going on right now. The last thing on their mind is updating GC with the latest info regarding their chapter. Or, perhaps they do have that information, but they do not wish to release at this time, especially to the teh interweb peeps.

Just a thought...

I wouldn't think that if they already sold the house as XiDelt suggested that it'd be something they were worried about keeping private.

DPhiE at UGA decided to take a break and in a few years are hoping to come back. I'm waiting as I pass the old house everyday on my way to work!
